Therefore, when a goat suddenly stops eating or shows a decrease in appetite, you must immediately find out the cause to prevent a more serious condition.

Well, apart from brown sugar, he also admitted to using other ingredients such as tofu dregs and corn bran. How to mix it is quite easy. First of all, prepare a bucket and pour 1/2 liter of drinking water. Next, add a small piece of brown sugar, then stir until the sugar dissolves.

Tips for storing brown sugar so it doesn't melt easily.
Brown sugar tends to melt and curdle if not stored properly. To keep brown sugar dry and in good condition, here are 9 tips you can follow.
1. Store in a tightly closed container.
Use an airtight container or jar with a tight-fitting lid to store brown sugar. This will prevent moisture from the surrounding air from entering the container.
2. Use a plastic bag or aluminum foil.
Wrap the brown sugar in a plastic bag or aluminum foil before placing it in a closed container. This provides an additional layer of protection against moisture.
3. Add moisture absorber.
Place a few grains of rice or silica gel packets in a storage container. Rice and silica gel can help absorb any moisture that may enter.
4. Store in a cool and dry place.
Avoid storing brown sugar in hot or damp places such as near a stove or sink. Choose a cool and dry place for storage.
5. Avoid direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight can increase the temperature and humidity in the container, causing the brown sugar to melt. Store brown sugar in a place protected from sunlight.
6. Use wax paper.
Wrap the brown sugar in wax paper before placing it in the container. Wax paper can help keep the moisture out of the brown sugar.
7. Break it into small pieces.
If the brown sugar is large, break it into small pieces before storing it. Small pieces are easier to store and are less likely to clump.
8. Store in the refrigerator.
If the humidity in your house is very high, consider storing brown sugar in the refrigerator. However, make sure the brown sugar is wrapped well so that it doesn't absorb odors from other foods.
9. Do not place it near a heat source.
Keep brown sugar away from tools that produce heat, such as ovens or microwaves, because heat can cause brown sugar to melt.
By following these tips, you can keep brown sugar dry and avoid problems, such as melting or clumping.
